Putting chuck above fedor and gsp? I mean comeon. Chucks good... but not pound for pound above fedor or gsp. And matt lindland is on the list? what'sup with that? yeah its nice that he beat jeremy horn last year... but he also lost to rampage 2 months before that (the new-age rampage, not rampage of old mind you).

I have to agree that Chucks one of the top mma fighters.He is extremely difficult to take down which means its mostly stand up, and with that knock out power everyones got a bit of a problem trying to beat him.

Maybe not best fighter buy his overall game is most effective in the Octagon.

Yeah I saw this the other day. I was disappointed that they didn't even give big Nog a mention

Chuck's one of my favs, but I personally think Fedor is a better p4p fighter. If Fedor fought a little more often and the UFC hype machine wasn't so influential Fedor probably would have gotten the nod over Chuck. Really though, can't take this list seriously, because as you said... MATT LINDLAND?

Yeh, I'm not sure how they pit him in the TOP 10. He's a very tough guy, considering he maybe lacks some of the genetic talents of other fighters in MMA. Maybe top 10 in the most consistent fighters category, but not top 10 overall.

Chuck is not a better fighter than Fedor... but nobody can take him down or beat him

Yeah, nevermind that Lindland is a middleweight,

come on people, Lindland has a great career with some major wins and some major loses, the guy is pretty good (also, grappling magazines (I do not remember if it was Tapout or Grappling) have him in the top 10 of the USA fighters).

Oh I don't mean to take any credit away from Lindland; beating Jeremy Horn is an accomplishment, and I'm sure that Lindland would pound my keyboard-warrior a$$ in real life... I'm just thinking that there's quite a few other folks that deserved the nod before him. Perhaps though the writer of this list was just trying to be PC about things and make sure that IFL gets at least some sort of mention in the article.

are u serious? cro cop is by far one of the best fighters out there. hes beatin some of the bets fighers out there (barnet, silva, coleman, randleman, igor, herring, etc.) theres no way you can say cro cop isnt top 10 material. and plus, look who chuck has beatin (couture, belfort, ortiz, sobral, horn, randleman). he isnt number one, but he is most deffinatly top 5.

I agree with you to an extent, but when considering P4P fighters I take into account more so there all round ability andwhether they are capable of fighting at different weights and such.

I'm not going to pick at what you have said as I appreciate that you have a valid argument and I feel P4P at the end of the day is really just personal opinion. I really do feel however that Chuck does not make top 5.

Matt Linland may be one of the top middleweights in the world but I don't know about pound for pound putting him in the same class as Fedor and Chuck. I mean look at a Fedor fight and look at a Linland fight. Linland will just go for a takedown like a crazy man and that's all he wants to do. Fedor will take what he is given and adapt his game too it. Chuck just kills people.

Is he fighting on IFL only, or like Rampage, did the UFC got his contract too?

I remember hearing that he had finished his obligations with WFA/WEC or whoever he was fighting for and I read in an interview that he had no plans to fight in the octagon. Too bad... I want the Law back in the UFC where he belongs.

Just because the guy doesn't stand and slug away, just because he doesn't have a style that novice MMA fans or converted boxing fans can appreciate, does not make him any less of a fighter. Matt Lindland is the definition of controling and smashing opponents

WAR MATT "The LAW" LINDLAND!!!! but why matt, why? Why do you want to fight fedor?
